Boat Lane was built in 1991, and is located in Northenden, a conservation area five miles south of the City of Manchester. It is set in pleasant and well cared for landscaped gardens, backing on to the old Boat Lane and leading directly to Northenden Riverside Park and the impressive natural surroundings of the River Mersey.

The Court is close to Palatine Road with its wide range of shopping facilities, and chemists; it is also close to a local medial centre, post office, library and a number of restaurants and cafes. Public transport is easily accessible from the Court and there are frequent bus services to Manchester Airport and Manchester City Centre. There are a number of leisure activities in the area inclusing three good local golf clubs.

The conservation area itself is centred on the nearby parish church of St. Wilfred's, extending northwards to include the picturesque river banks and southwards to the Victorian era shops, houses and other buildings on Church Road a

The Courts are designed to mobility standards, so that both communal areas and the individual properties are easily accessible and convenient to use, even in the extreme situation that someone becomes confined to a wheelchair. Careful attention is paid to the design details so that there is not even a single step to be climbed.

Hallways and doorways are wider than usual, sockets and switches are conveniently placed and flooring is chosen with safety and ease of movement in mind, plus a multitude of other details to make life easier.

A speech alarm call system is fitted to every dwelling with pull cords in every room of both the private dwellings and the communal areas. In an emergency this enables an Owner, guest or member of staff to speak to the Duty Manager, one of whom is on the premises 24hrs a day, although after 10pm this is generally only for emergencies.
